Title: What is this font?
Post by: blakespot on January 24, 2006, 08:09:37 PM

What font is this, in the terminal window there?

I ask here in the Amiga.org forums because it looks A LOT like a font I used to use with my Amiga Workbench back in the early 90's.  

Anyone recognize it?  Thanks.

It's not XEN.

Can someone point me to some TrueType conversions of Amiga Workbench fonts, such as Topaz in its various flavors?   Thanks.

What is the font in the ROM of the Amiga 1200?  Is it a "new" version of Topaz?

Thanks.

The sample given is far too small to make a conclusion. The antialiasing is almost as large as the lettering. If you have a larger point sample it would help. Also, if you Google on 'True Type Fonts' you'll find literally hundreds of font catalogs. Eventually you'll find it, or something indistinguishable from it.

There's a site that can identify a font from a picture you upload.

I'll be buggered if I can find it now though.

It analyses the pic and asks you what letters they are then gives you a list of a few possibilities.

It's been almost dead on when I've used it.
